Weigh in Day

Another Sunday morning brings another weigh in. I have neither loss nor gained so I guess I can't complain but I am left unsatisfied.

I ate breakfast all week, I thought about what I was eating and I worked out. 

Thoughts for next week is to move more between work outs, track every morsel as I am eating it and really watch my proportions at dinner time.

Any words of wisdom? 

Weigh in day

Sunday is weigh in day for my program and unfortunately I gained two pounds.

I know its all a part of the process and I also know what I did 'wrong' this week. I over worked myself, didn't eat properly and missed breakfast most days. On Friday I was so exhausted I couldn't finish my work out.

None of this is the end of the world and I know it is another set of lessons to learn and put into practice going forward.

I have already prepared my breakfast and lunch for tomorrow so I hope that will help me make the right choices for tomorrow and the week ahead

Well today is weigh in day with my weight watchers program and I am down another pound!

That make 6 pounds in total since I have started this journey. It may not be a major milestone in the weight loss/ health journey but it is a step down the path.

I am very happy with this result and it really gives me an extra bit of effort to push forward and continue on.

I am trying to eat smartly and not with a manic need to be dieting at all moments of my life. I know that this needs to be long term so I allow my self treats and the use of my extra points to have what I want, even if that means eating a cheese burger and learning later that it took half of my daily points. 

I will not live a life of deprivation but I will make smart choices and learn moderation,

Better late then never

I have never been big on new years resolutions, something about goals and expectations that I don't like. This year though I thought I would unofficially set some aspirations for the year, not based on vanity but on a generalized vision of how I want my life to be.

One of these aspirations was to feel healthier in all aspects of my life, mind and body.

I am lucky enough to have a mother in law who is a personal trainer and a gym in her basement. I started to go see her three times a week at the beginning of the year and I have seen lots of results as my body has gotten stronger and I have gained some confidence in my own bodies ability.

I decided to take it up a notch as I am tired of not fitting into my clothes, living in yoga pants and not being able to buy the clothes I love. This decision was not based on a want to skinny but my want to feel comfortable in my skin.

Since having kids the scale has only moved upwards with very short periods of weight loss and since I have already added the physical part of the equation I decided to join weight watchers to help me track what I was eating in the hopes I could figure out what was holding me back from being a healthier me.

I have decided to go into this tracking everything from the good to the bad to the ugly. I am going to try to do more planning of what I am going to eat and try not fall into old habits due to poor planning. I know its not going to be a perfect uneventful journey but its one worth exploring and I hope to have some good results even if I stumble.
